Pick-N-Pull is a butt rape.

I've been going there for years. I was around to see the beginning of self serve yards in the Sacramento area.
It has changed a bit over the years though.
For several years, they charged tax on cores but didn't refund the tax when you brought the POS back. That is illegal. They stopped doing that. I fully understand a core charge for something that has a reasonable expectation of being rebuilt. Engines, transmissions, alternators, starter, etc. Charging a core for a piece of steel is a money grab.
I am just tired of people taking advantage of others. We are already over-taxed and over regulated.
Some guys are passive and don't mind it when others walk all over them.
That isn't me.

Unfortunately you will never know just how much they bend people over.... It's actually the small increments in a business like this that makes the owners extremely wealthy. I like the all inclusive price myself with anything. But in today's world that's a hard target. We just went through this with a Vendor. A price was agreed upon for service work over the phone that was all inclusive. But when we starting looking at the agreement on paper there were additional monies required that was not discussed. My big boss said keep your word or find something else to do. They opted to honor the verbal agreement.... Sad world today. On that note let me go pet my Dog!
